Mr.. Decker, of Newville, started for India

head, and he beheld sight which filled
him with dismay. Ice, fence rails and
debris, borne upon the swollen waters,
was almost upon him. He reined
his horse from the moin road to the higher
land on the right, but despite his frantic
efforts and the speed of his horse the water
was soon upon him. Dashed from his
sleigh he managed to cling to barbed wire
fence upon the hillside against which he
was thrown, and gradually worked his way
to place Of safety. He was horribly Gu t
and bruised. The horse was washed away.

Commission is Of the opinion that the Roy

manding officer be kept wholly free from

that of the Inspector General. The con-
stabulary should also, in the opin-
lou of the Commission, he held
responsible for the preservation of peace
without being subject to the control Of the
magistricy or other authority save that Of
the Irish Executive. The Chief of Police
should be empowered 10 forbid parade Of
societies, bands of music, or in fact any
body of men in his discretion, and should
have authority TO change the force under
his control, or 10 increase the same suf-
ticiently 10 deal with any case Of rioting
or emergency Of whatsoever character
without calling upon the police Of other
districts, the military being retained la
